Anyway, so my symptoms:
1. Extreme laziness. Pretty much everything in my life has taken a hit because of it: cleaning, cooking, blogging, reading and commenting on others' blogs, photography, parenting, tweeting, reading, carpooling, and being a decent wife and friend. Everything except sleeping, resting, and curling up in the fetal position.
2. Clumsiness and absent-mindedness. Grey matter, where have you gone?
3. Mood swings. When the Hubs signed on "for better or for worse," he probably didn't envision this.
4. Acne. Huge, protruding chin zits that tend to show up most viciously right before an important event like The Mother of all Tweetups and the my cruise with Captain Canada.
5. A distinct preference for stretchy pants with elastic waistbands.
6. Food aversions that change from day to day. Except onions, the one food I am whole-heartedly and steadfastly committed to avoiding at all costs.
7. Heightened sense of smell. (Which was already pretty acute. So basically I am now a bloodhound.)
8. Gagging. Gagging when I lift the kitchen garbage lid to throw something away. Gagging when I bend over to tie my shoes. Gagging when I brush my teeth. Gagging when I when I smell food I recently ate. Or didn't. Gagging when I think about gagging.
9. Nausea. Ad nauseum. (See number 8 above.)
10. The undeniable urge to pee on sticks.
So, friends, what do you think it could be? Help a girl out, here!
AHHH!!!!! Congratulations lady! So exciting, and what a great way to share your news with us!
ReplyDeleteAlways knew I wanted to do it in a Listicle! :)
DeleteAck! Are you?!? YAY! :D
ReplyDeleteI knew it as soon as I read the first three!!! you went on a cruise and brought home a baby :) HURRRRRRRAYYYYYY! The most obvious result of THE LOVE!
ReplyDeleteThis is our first Monday Listicles baby announcement. Love you for it.
Congrats Mr. And Mrs. Captain Handsome and big sister to be.
Actually I thought it would be a dead giveaway when I only ordered ginger ale at the Mother of All Tweetups. But then I realized that none of you (with the exception of Lisa) knew me well enough to pick up on the subtlety...
DeleteOh I noticed and I mentioned it to Captain Canada. He thought I was reading way too much into it. I call it intuition. Congrats. When will baby Goodison #2 make an appearance? I am so excited for you guys.
DeleteObservant as ever, Ms. Schwartz! August 7th is the official EDD. But if Lilah is any indication of how I gestate (much like an elephant or a whale), it could be a lot later.
DeleteThis is ever so excited! Also this seems to make you the designated driver for future tweet ups...
DeleteAnd ... she's OUT. Congrats ;-)
ReplyDeleteYou did look a little green the other night :( All for a good cause thankfully!
ReplyDeleteHa! Thanks. The salmon burger from Splitz would have helped, if I hadn't eaten a whole order of fries, some of Lilah's chicken fingers, and half of the Hubs' ice cream in addition. Did I mention slowed digestion?
DeleteYay! I love this. Congratulations!
